really nice wines made by Roger Wong who is a well known winemaker in the
Okanagan. They also have an amazing gift shop.

reason to visit Lake Country.

The Grapevine is our most
recommended restaurant. It has the best food anywhere we've eaten, along
with great service from their friendly waitresses. Relax enjoying the
gorgeous view of Lake Okanagan with your meal.

four bridges over vineyards, one of which is the longest in North America.
The magnificent views, cliffs and rock faces that the fire has revealed is
what make The Kelowna Mountain Bridges & Vineyards so breathtaking and
unique.

Eco tours throughout the
Okanagan. Identifying edible mushrooms, snowshoeing, visiting scenic
locations you wouldn't know about unless you were a local. If anyone would

award-winning interpretive naturalist with a refreshingly enthusiastic
passion for nature and conservation.

The Starlight Drive-in
is pretty close to us in Enderby, an hours drive north. There is a list on

terrain in North America.

Tour and tasting of fresh honey right from the bees.

Farm
tours, fresh fruits for sale & a petting zoo with a gift shop. This
and the Bee farm have been recommended to us from guests who have visited
there, who gave it a thumbs up. We will be going there shortly and will have
more of a write up afterwards.

This is a real hidden jewel
of a find for us. This place is a forgotten parrots dream. These folks have
close to a hundred parrots that they are taking care of and offer a really
educational tour and talk about parrots. You even get a few pictures with
these birds on your shoulder. The topics range from how breeders and
smugglers have almost made wild parrots extinct from illegally smuggling
these birds into countries that will pay big money for them and then after a
few years the new owners forget about the novelty of owning these incredible
birds and how they live a miserable life without the attention that
they need. Stop by here and learn more about these great birds and help
these people keep this great service up and running. The admission price is
a steal. If you are coming here from Vancouver then a quick 10 minute trip
south to the first street off of hwy 97 will take you to this great place.
Have a look at their web page for directions.

Reviews from our guest
have been very good about this attraction. If you are a golfer then this

the same gradients of difficulty that the big golf courses offer, so stop by

game. out hour putting game,

longer to drive.

a unique 2 hour journey on one of British Columbia's few remaining fully operational steam
railways. Passengers enjoy a tour along a preserved ten-kilometre section of the original
Kettle Valley Railway constructed between 1910 and 1915. The locomotive, a 1924 Shay steam
engine, pulls two 1950's passenger coaches and the Kettle and Valley Kars (open air).
Friendly, informative guides bring the history of the railway alive as the train chugs
along hillsides overlooking beautiful Okanagan orchards and vineyards.

Just south of Kelowna is
Myra Canyon, a lovingly restored section of the Kettle Valley Railway
Trail. It weighs in at 12 miles (24 km) round trip, but there are no steep
climbs or hairball singletracks - just some fun, casual riding. What makes
the Myra Canyon section special are the 18 trestles and two tunnels you'll
pass over and through. You can also rent bicycles at Myra Canyon
Bicycle Rental/ Our guest who've done it were
quite happy with it,

The "Silver Sage" is only
minutes to the Burrowing Owl. They use fruits, herbs & vegetables in
their wines for really unique, amazing & different tasting wines. This
is one of our favourite wineries at the south end of the valley. One
visit here and you will be coming back for years.

The
"Burrowing Owl" is 2 hours south of us in Oliver. Their red
wine is so good it has sold out for 2003 and some varieties have sold
out for 2004. Their white wines are great tasting also. It is a little
higher in price but it is an excellent quality wine.

They also offer a
very romantic restaurant with excellent food. You can still purchase a
glass of their red wine to try with meals. We would definitely recommend
you plan to visit here.
